Roast Beef with Blue Cheese Sauce

I bought this roast because it was a good price. This cut is actually called a "Spoon Roast."

Blue cheese sauce goes really well with roast beef

Sear the meat in a pan before you put it in the oven; preheat the oven to 350-375˚ F, then put the meat in for 20-25 min.  Take it out and  let it sit for another 15 min, to be medium rare.

For mashed potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes (Yellow Yukon Gold) and boil them with a head of garlic until tender,when done, strain any excess liquid. Then mash the potatoes and garlic with a masher and add cream until they are smooth and velvety. Put the mashed potatoes in a pan with slices of butter and place under the broiler until the top gets to be a golden color.

For mushrooms: Chop onion and garlic very thin, then add a little pinch of cayenne pepper, if you want, then sauté the mushrooms until tender.


Blue cheese sauce, in a pan put cream and blue cheese simmer and let it melt.

*** My Argentinean friends, Eduardo and Mony, always told me not to add salt until the end. Salt will take all the natural juices from the meat and, therefore, make it too dry.
